On behalf of the LIFE club, I would like to make a statement concerning H.B. 222. To deny an unborn child the right to life is unacceptable, but to deny an unborn child simple anesthesia or analgesics while unjustly taking its life is just coldhearted.

No matter how much we enjoy the film "Animal House," few of us would want to deal with toga parties in our own neighborhoods or Bluto and Flounder urinating and vomiting on the front porch. It would just be easier to sympathize with the residents if they were better neighbors themselves. On the other hand, the residents need to understand that living next to a university is different from living elsewhere.

As a member of the Honors College Social Justice Scholars, I represent our group in saying that we fervently oppose House Bill 64, Deterring Illegal Immigration, for two main and closely related reasons: ambiguity and inefficiency.

H.B. 122 would serve only the interest of the government by allowing it to be easier to cover up the trail of corruption. Do not allow the Legislature to chain down the watchdog of government offices and officials. Tell you representative how you feel about H.B. 122.

The U offers free membership to students at the Field House, and though the amenities might not be the same you might find in many other fitness clubs and the hours might not be as convenient, it's not likely to come packaged with too much small print. The last thing students need is another set of inescapable payment obligations.

Although the refund is well meant it isn't practical. Instead of offering some extra pocket change to students, Commuter Services would do better to keep the money to invest in parking maintenance or help subsidize future cost increases or projects, such as the construction of a parking structure. MISS.

It is time to demonstrate some tough love for businesses that put profit before safety. I often hear the argument that regulation strangles America's competitive edge. Is that really the only thing that we would have to strangle to keep peanut butter safe? OK, sounds good to me.

If you drive a clunker, be aware of the pollution you're putting into the air if you ignore the manufacturer's suggested maintenance schedule just to save a few bucks.

Recent debate about the Common Ground Initiative has fully exposed the blatant bigotry that exists in this state.

Buttars spewed some of his slimiest rhetoric yet during a recent interview with documentary filmmaker Reed Cowan, comparing homosexuals to radical Muslims.
